After Gao married the prince, the sick and weak concubine lost her horse

Chapter 220 Chapter 220

Sheng Tingye still protects her shoulders.

Seeing that her expression was wrong, he suggested, "Go back first."

Shen Qingci nodded, and was about to turn around, but she seemed to think of something, and shook her head again.

"I once heard Jiang Yuwan talk about her grandfather."

"She said that although she didn't remember her grandfather, but from her impression of her mother, her grandfather should be a gentleman who was generous and refined."

After finishing speaking, Shen Qingci turned to look at Sheng Tingye: "My lord, I think...his impersonation is not for plotting to create chaos in Daqi, but it looks more like he was forced by the state of Chu and had nowhere to go to get to this point. "

Shen Qingci was not sure what the Wang family did with Zhao Zhenlin and others afterwards, but she had a strong intuition that her grandfather did not do anything to hurt Daqi.

If he was really the kind of hard-hearted person who wanted to seek great success, he would have eliminated these two people long ago after he settled down.

And why bother to pamper Pang's mother and daughter for so many years, leaving such a pair of hidden dangers that may explode at any time around.

Shen Qingci thought about the scene she saw in the dream, and she felt that her grandfather only wanted to lead her mother to live a stable life here, and did not want to be disturbed by the disputes outside.

Unfortunately, I don't know what happened later.

Shen Qingci thought of Gu Qiuli.

What he said back then - do you know the real cause of Wang Suyi's death.

Let her mind so far.

Now that she knew the true identity of her grandfather, was her mother's death really as simple as it seemed on the surface?
Could it be that the assassin arranged by the regent, a group of people tracked down the whereabouts of the grandfather, and found A Niang in order to eradicate the grass?
But since it was cutting the weeds and eradicating the roots, why was she unharmed at the time?

Shen Qingci couldn't figure it out.

Originally thought that by clearing the fog, I could get a glimpse of the truth.

Looking at it now, it seems that one layer after another has been removed, and the deeper the investigation, the more puzzling it becomes.

But many of these signs are aimed at Chu.

For a moment, Shen Qingci even felt an urge to go to Chu State.

The regent party had been uprooted by the current empress several years ago.

But if you want to find out, you should be able to find some clues in those past events.

Xu Shi was so absorbed in his thoughts that Shen Qingci unknowingly walked to his grandfather's bed.

She obviously has no childhood memories, but somehow feels that there is a hidden compartment at the head of the bed.

Sheng Tingye didn't know what she was going to do, so he turned around and lit the oil lamp and followed her to give her light.

Shen Qingci walked to the side of the bed, raised his hand and knocked on the board under the head of the bed, it was empty.

But she looked at all four corners, and there were no flaws or openings.

Almost in a blink of an eye, she thought of the Bafang lock she had learned from the mechanism master Wang Lu.

Since Wang Lu was able to use it for her mother and build a small treasury for her, it may have some connection with her grandfather.

With this in mind, Shen Qingci raised his hand, tapped three times on the four corners, and finally slapped it hard in the middle.

Just hear a click.

The board at the head of the bed, which was originally perfectly fitted, suddenly jumped out.

In the next moment, a three-foot-square box was revealed.

At that moment, Shen Qingci's heart trembled.

There must be important clues here!

But when she opened the box and saw what was inside, Shen Qingci was startled suddenly.

There may be something important inside, but it has been burned down.

Now locked inside is nothing but a pile of burnt paper ashes.

Shen Qingci's heart felt cold.

It must be very important to be placed in such a place.

Under what circumstances did her grandfather destroy everything inside?

Thinking of the gentle and elegant smiling face he saw in the dream, Shen Qingci felt sour.

"Let's go back."

Shen Qingci turned to look at Sheng Tingye.

She put the things back where they were, and returned to the courtyard with Sheng Tingye along the same path.

Sheng Tingye called someone over and gave instructions on the hallucinogenic matter in Yixing Hospital, and soon he could draw a conclusion.

However, this conclusion is no longer important to Shen Qingci.

The left and right are just medicine powders that Pang called Mama Qian to cover up the two memorial tablets.

After going out for a run this time, her hands and feet were already cold, and she didn't even have a head.

So much so that he got into the bed and fell asleep.

When I woke up the next morning, Sheng Tingye was still there.

However, he had packed everything up and was sitting at the desk to read the official documents.

Shen Qingci propped himself up and sat down, wondering: "Young Master, didn't you go out today?"

Sheng Tingye turned his head and looked over.

"Today Wang Qici hosted a banquet."

Therefore, the home court is at the Wang family.

Shen Qingci responded, got up and washed up, and the two of them had breakfast together.

A crisp voice sounded outside the courtyard.

"Axi, are you there?"

Wang Baoying held a scroll in her hand, and Xian Bao seemed to be beckoning to Shen Qingci, but she didn't seem to see Sheng Tingye next to Shen Qingci.

A face-to-face reveals just the right amount of surprise and shyness.

"Young master Zhang...is here too."

Wang Baoying stepped forward to greet her, "I didn't know Mr. Zhang was also in the courtyard, Baoying was reckless."

I'm afraid no one will believe me when I say this.

You know, this is the Wang family.

Wang Baoying casually sent a maid to ask if "Zhang Jincheng" was there.

She clearly saw this opportunity and came here to match what she liked.

Sure enough, Sheng Tingye responded lightly, and she quickly presented the scroll in her hand.

"Since Mr. Zhang is here, that's just right."

"Yesterday, I heard Miss Axi say that Mr. Zhang likes the picture of cedar trees. I happen to have this picture hanging in my room. I would like to ask Mr. Zhang to give me some pointers."

Hearing this, Sheng Tingye, who didn't know the inside story, turned to look at Shen Qingci.

Shen Qingci chuckled, and took the scroll from Wang Baoying's hand with a smile, "My son really likes the cedar picture the most, doesn't he, son?"

Shen Qingci turned to Sheng Tingye with a smile on his face.

There was something Sheng Tingye didn't understand.

This is using him as a gun.

Either way.

He smiled faintly, took it from Shen Qingci's hand, and glanced at the picture.

With his smile, Wang Baoying was stunned for a moment.

How can there be such a good-looking person in this world!

I thought it was a high and cold jade, but this jade is still warm.

He was already handsome, and that smile was even more charming.

At that moment, Wang Baoying felt that her heart was not her own.

If she can see each other often, she feels that this life is enough.

Not to mention seeing his smile.

But in the blink of an eye, Sheng Tingye's eyes only fell on Shen Qingci.

Wang Baoying's eyes darkened.

For a moment, there was infinite sourness and pain in my heart.

He seemed to only see Axi in his eyes.

"Fifth girl?"

Shen Qingci reminded Wang Baoying, who was in a state of despair, and brought her back to reality.

She panicked from the bottom of her heart, and her shy look quickly returned to her face, "What do you think, Young Master Zhang?"

Sheng Tingye only glanced at it casually, and said with care, "It's okay."

Even just these two words are enough to make Wang Baoying cheer.

She was about to send the things out in a hurry, but Sheng Tingye didn't even look at her. After saying a few words to Shen Qingci, he stepped out of the courtyard.

She was not given a chance to speak at all.

Wang Baoying froze in place, staring at Sheng Tingye's leaving back in a daze.

"Fifth girl?"

Shen Qingci had already put away the scroll and handed it over.

Wang Baoying blushed, lowered her eyes and said, "Is your young master not happy?"

Shen Qingci felt that Wang Baoying's reaction was a little strange.

She originally thought that Wang Baoying wanted to cling because of Zhang Jincheng's identity.

Seizing such a great opportunity, I tried my best to entangle him.

But looking at Wang Baoying's expression now, it seems that... the truth has been moved?
No way.

Shen Qingci felt a little unbelievable.

After all, she only met Sheng Tingye a few times.

He was puzzled in his heart, but on the surface Shen Qingci pretended not to know.

She shook her head: "It's not that I don't like it, maybe it's because I've seen too much and my eyes are confused."

She was reminding Wang Baoying.

Not knowing if the other party understood, Wang Baoying suddenly looked up at her, and said again: "Miss Axi, I really envy you."

Shen Qingci smiled slightly, and before he could give a polite answer, he heard footsteps coming again in a hurry outside the courtyard.

"Miss Axi!"

Turning around from the door, Shen Qingci saw that it was Miaoyun, the maid beside Wang Baozhu.

After saying goodbye to Shen Qing, Miao Yun hurriedly said: "My girl had a fever in the middle of the night yesterday, and the fever hasn't subsided yet, she kept calling...Miss Axi...My master asks Miss Axi Why don't you go over and help me, otherwise she will be fussy and refuse to take the medicine..."

Miao Yun was about to cry.

In fact, Wang Baozhu kept calling "Sister Wan" during her high fever, but there is no Jiang Yuwan in the world.

And these two days, Wang Baozhu happened to mistook Axi for Jiang Yuwan again, so Mrs. Zheng had no choice but to ask the maid to come here.

Shen Qingci already liked Wang Baozhu, so there's no reason why he shouldn't.

She said goodbye to Wang Baoying in a hurry, and followed Miaoyun to Zheng's side.

Before entering the door, a strong herbal smell can be smelled from a distance.

Zheng Shi sat on the edge of the bed with red eyes and watched over Wang Baozhu.

But at this moment, Wang Baozhu's face was flushed with fever, and even her eyes were a little blurred, but she couldn't stop calling "Sister Wan" in her small mouth.

"Sister Wan is here to pick me up."

"Sister Wan is afraid of the dark, so I will carry a lantern for Sister Wan. From now on, Sister Wan will never be afraid again!"

"I want to go with Sister Wan!"

……

Hearing her unlucky words, Zheng's heart felt like a knife.

Seeing Shen Qingci coming in, Mrs. Zheng didn't care about etiquette, and stepped forward, holding Shen Qingci's hand: "Miss Axi, please trouble you, hurry up and coax Baozhu!"

Shen Qingci quickly followed to the bedside.

Her hand just touched Wang Baozhu's forehead, and Wang Baozhu's hands quickly grabbed hers.

Her originally blurred eyes suddenly became extremely clear.

"Sister Wan! It's you! You're back!"

"Sister Wan, I knew that you would definitely come back!"

"Sister Wan, Baozhu misses you so much!"

……

Wang Baozhu tightly hugged Shen Qingci with both hands, crying heartbreakingly.

In the eyes of others, it was just as if she was being stupid again.

But Shen Qingci was shocked and bitter.

I don't know why Baozhu, who is obviously stupid, can recognize her at a glance.

Maybe, just because she has fewer spiritual apertures than normal people, she can discover the essence through phenomena, or glimpse some secrets?

In any case, to be missed by this child so much, Shen Qingci is not a lump of iron, how could he not be moved.

"Baozhu, Sister Wan is here, don't cry."

Shen Qingci half leaned against the bed, half hugged Wang Baozhu in his arms, and coaxed softly: "Hey, let's drink the medicine. When you recover from illness, Sister Wan will take you to catch butterflies."

As soon as the words fell, Wang Baozhu's eyes lit up.

"catch butterfly!"

"Baozhu wants Sister Wan to catch butterflies together!"

After finishing speaking, even facing the soup she hated the most, she drank it without blinking.

Shen Qingci coaxed softly beside him.

Not long after taking the medicine, Wang Baozhu felt drowsy. She leaned against Shen Qingci and fell asleep quickly.

Shen Qingci waited for her to fall into a deep sleep and the high fever on her body subsided, and then quietly retreated out.

Zheng Shi looked at it and wiped away tears again.

In order not to disturb Baozhu, several people went to the outside room to talk.

Zheng said gratefully: "Thank you, Miss Axi!"

If it wasn't for Shen Qingci, she really didn't know what to do.

I used various methods before, even forcefully pouring it into my mouth.

Unexpectedly, as soon as Shen Qingci came, Wang Baozhu agreed.

Mrs. Zheng was so grateful that she was almost cast down.

Shen Qingci said a few words of relief, "The servant has been bothering the mansion for the past few days, if Miss Jiu still has something to do, just send someone to call the servant."

Mrs. Zheng nodded hurriedly, and personally sent Shen Qingci out of the courtyard.

Unlike other places, there are many begonias planted in this courtyard.

They were all Jiang Yuwan's favorites before.

Shen Qingci stood outside the door for a long time, finally couldn't help but sighed softly, turned and left.

Whether she can sit idly by and not talk about the affairs of the Wang family.

She also couldn't stand by and watch Zheng's and Baozhu's mother and daughter.

According to Sheng Tingye, Sheng Tingjing sent Zhao Zhenlin to make a big move in Qingzhou.

In this, what roles did Wang Qici and others play?

If it is really involved, there will be eggs under the nest.

Because of being lost in thought, Shen Qingci's steps were very slow.

Unexpectedly, he almost bumped into a group of people at the corner.

The leader was a pretty girl in a pink rabbit down jacket.

Her eyes are watery and spirited.

Not only was she born pretty and beautiful, but she also had brocades and red hairpins on her body, and she was full of jewels.

It seems impossible to be a girl from an ordinary family.

What's more, there are four or five servant girls and a woman behind her.

Such a posture and ostentation, even Baoqin, the queen of the Wang family, does not have it.

Shen Qingci walked slowly, but the other party seemed to be in a hurry, and his steps were running and jumping.

That's why, at the corner, he almost collided with Shen Qingci.

But fortunately, Shen Qingci stopped in time and didn't really hit him.

But just this one has already annoyed the maid following behind the girl.

"Who are you? Don't you have eyes? You hurt our girl carefully, and it's not enough to pay for your poor life!"

Seeing that Shen Qingci was only dressed as a maid, the other party didn't take her seriously.

It was the pretty girl who looked Shen Qingci up and down, before her maid continued to reprimand her, she raised her hand to interrupt.

"Are you Axi next to Mr. Zhang?"

Shen Qingci was a little surprised.
